Overview
- The encounter took place on Nov. 13 outside a stationery shop in Colima’s historic center and was recorded by bystanders.
- Video shows municipal official Roberto Moreno Béjar repeatedly trying to hit and kick Deputy Leoncio Morán, who mostly defended himself.
- The Morena state committee condemned the aggression and urged Moreno’s removal, referencing an earlier complaint from councilor Azucena López.
- Mayor Riult Rivera ordered the worker’s separation from the Economic Promotion Department and said the administration will cooperate with any investigations.
- Witnesses and Moreno allege Morán provoked the incident with insults, and the recording captures the deputy using a homophobic slur; no formal complaints had been publicly announced.
